Sleep scoring procedure of the sleep cycle application output hypnogram. A) First we defined the boundaries of the generated hypnogram, i.e. Left, right, upper and lower boundaries, using the pixel-wise coordinates. The start and end time of the hypnogram (green lines) were defined as the time the participants went to bed and the time when they woke up respectively as reported by the application (yellow boxes). These times were then used to define the boundaries of the 30s epochs. More specifically, we calculated the overall duration of the hypnogram in minutes (time from going to bed till waking up), then calculated the total number of pixels between the left and the right boundaries of the hypnogram. Then we determine the number of pixels in 30s and these numbers were used to divide the hypnogram into 30s epochs. Furthermore, the upper and lower boundaries of the hypnogram were used to define the limits of the different sleep stages such that the distance between the upper and lower boundaries is divided by the number of stages to give the same area for each sleep stage in pixels. B) A switch from one stage to the other is detected when the tracker in the hypnogram crosses the boundary between two stages (white arrows as examples) to generate the classical 30s-epoch hypnogram depicted in (C). This analysis was performed using image processing tools in Microsoft Paint software (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010) and the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) software in Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010). Figure S2. Scatter plot showing the positive correlations between the time in bed measurement of the PSG gold standard and those of the Mi Band, MotionWatch and sleep cycle (top to bottom). The solid black line depicts the line of correlation between the two measurements while the grey dashed line depicts the 45o line of identity. Figure S3. Bland and Altman plots for the agreement between the time in bed (TiB) as measured by the Sleep Cycle application (left) and the mi band (right) only for the at-home sleep recordings (n=8). Dashed line represent line of equality (difference = 0). Blue line is the mean of the difference and the blue shading is the confidence interval of the mean. Black horizontal lines mark the 1.96SD from the mean. Figure S4. Hypnograms produced by the PSG gold standard (red), the Mi band (MB, blue) and the Sleep cycle application (SC, green), for the same night. An example of an unusual night with bad agreement of the PSG scores with the MB and the SC scores. Note the inability of the MB and the SC to detect the transient changes in the sleep architecture throughout the night. Moreover, The MB and the SC were inaccurate in capturing wake after sleep onset (WASO) and the sleep onset latency (SOL), the reason why they tend to over-/under-estimate such parameters (Figure 3). Also note that the MB started staging sleep with a light-sleep epoch 23 minutes after the PSG started recording (the black dot), which means that the previous time the MB was not able to detect any sleep and did not perform any sleep scoring, another problem that might contribute to the poor agreement of the MB scoring with the gold standard. Here, we assumed this time to be “awake” for clarification. Table S1.

  • Release Info
    PROLOG: FEDERWEG 22 3008 BERN +41(0)79 222 69 75 WWW.PROLOG-MUSIC.CH Release Info: Artist: Akku Quintet Album-Title: Stages Of Sleep Format: Album Label: Morpheus Records Distribution CH: Godbrain Full Album Stream: http://akkuquintet.bandcamp.com/album/stages-of-sleep We spend about one third of our life sleeping. However, we know relatively little about this vital necessity. When sleeping the body proceeds into a state of external rest. Pulse and respiratory rate drop, and cerebral activity changes. While falling asleep and waking up dreams and actualities merge into a strange reality. We drift into a sea of dreams and imaginary worlds. Mostly we only remember dream scraps or mood images which suddenly reappear in the middle of everyday life. What we really "experience" in the parallel world of sleep and what happens within our brains remains a mystery. Why do we sleep and what happens to us while we apparently do nothing? Everyone who knows the "snooze" button knows what it feels like to be drifting back and forth between sleep and wakefulness. The morning confrontation with this phenomenon fascinated the Bernese drummer and composer Manuel Pasquinelli and led to his idea to set music to a sleep cycle. Inspired by the dreamy and scientific aspects of sleep, these compositions have grown to a "dream suite" over the past 2-3 years. This musical sleep cycle can now be listened to on the debut album "Stages Of Sleep" by Pasquinelli's band AKKU quintet . Every piece corresponds to one of the five stages of sleep, which we live through several times a night.

Before the invention of electric lights, typical adults slept for 9 hours. When all cues to time of day are removed, typical adults will average 10.3 hours of sleep daily, similar to their cousins, the apes and monkeys. However, studies show that the length of sleep is not what causes us to be refreshed upon waking. The key factor is the number of complete sleep cycles we enjoy. Each sleep cycle contains five distinct phases, which exhibit different brain wave patterns (see more in chapter 2): Pre-sleep: beta waves, or normal alertness.

    An initiative of The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne Community Centre for Community Child Health September 2011 Paediatric Review Volume 19 > No 2 A national publication for child and family health nurses and other professionals Sleep There is much received wisdom on infant sleep and new parents will find that just about everyone they speak to has an opinion – where, how much, how often. For parents, understanding infant sleep and adapting to new patterns and behaviours can be one of the biggest challenges in the early years. Unsurprisingly, sleep is one of the main concerns presented by parents to child and family health nurses. By giving parents information about sleep, they can be better prepared to promote and support healthy sleep patterns in their infants (Middlemiss, 2004). Understanding sleep For example, frequent night waking can be a problem for some parents but is in fact a normal part of an infant’s During sleep we all go through cycles of deep and light sleep cycle. There’s even an argument that night waking sleep.

  • Getting a Good Night's Sleep
    GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP Sleep problems are fairly common. In fact, one in four people experience sleep difficulties, which include trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, early morning waking, sleeping too much, or restless or unsatisfying sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep can improve your mental well-being and help you to better manage your anxiety. The good news is that there are things you can do to improve your sleep. TIP: Sleep problems can be the result of various conditions or medical problems. Therefore, it is important to discuss your sleep problems with your doctor. To improve your sleep, try some of the following strategies: Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment. If you want to have a good sleep, it helps to create a comfortable sleep environment. Make sure that you have a supportive mattress and fresh, comfortable bedding. Also, try to ensure that your room is not too hot or cold, minimize noise, and block out light. Relax. Try doing something to relax your body and mind before going to bed. Try taking a hot bath 90 minutes before you plan to go to bed. Or, try a relaxation exercise (see Calm Breathing and Progressive Muscle Relaxation), meditation, or listening to calming music. Have a Snack. Although a heavy meal late in the evening can disrupt sleep, a healthy light snack in the evening can improve sleep. Try eating light cheese and crackers, turkey, or bananas, or drink a warm glass of milk. Avoid heavy, spicy, or sugary foods. Get Physical. People who exercise tend to have more restful sleep.
